5th Gen Did B2W2 Truly Bring Out Unova's Potential?

So, these games being the obvious sequel to the original Black and White games, there were more things that you could do, and more places to explore, for example: the ruins where you could get the ancient Regi pokemon, as well as providing more in-depth tales about the legend of Kyruem.

But still, playing these games, do you think that they could still do more with Unova, or did the B2W2 games bring out that potential? If you had the power, what would you have done to bring out Unova's full potential, or to make Unova more fun/memorable to play in?

Feel free to share any thoughts!
 
Yes, Black 2 and White 2 absolutely did more for Unova. With so much content, lots of Pokémon to catch, and new areas, as well as new characters, some of which appear to have quite a bit to them, I have very little but good to be said about them that I haven't already over 9000 times. I will say once more: the people that call it the same game/region, or copy/paste, can go screw themselves.

That was my 6,000th post... I remember how last December I made my 3,000th post in this forum in a different thread too, haha.
 
As my favorite game being White 2 and my favorite Generation being 5, i think they really brought out Unova's potential with a very fun story, beautiful added locations such as the Marine Tube, Undella Town, Humilau City, the new Victory Road which is amazing and the PWT too. If i had the power, i'd probably just change some Move Tutor moves, some battles (there's a Double Battle in Victory Road which is frustratingly hard), and probably would also change the locations of the musketeer trio. I can understand why catch them ingame, but i never really used them.. so that's all my thoughts. By the way, i prefer White 2 over Black 2 because of Reuniclus. I just really love that Pokemon.
 
Like Pendra said, there was so much B2/W2 brought out to make Unova more enjoyable as a region. Adding new characters, locations and expansions to the Unova Dex made the games feel like a new experience while at the same time not straying too far from the original B/W.
 
B2W2 are my favorite games, and yes they did marvelously. New roytes, cities, and some of the bedt dungeons in the series ever concieved. From Castelia Sewers tonClay's massive mined under Twist Mountain, the games expanded it in everyway imagineable. Despite that, I sometimes yearn for more. Its a selfish notion, but I can't help feel like they could have done somethinf better then Lwntimas and its cave. Its the only portion that felt random. See exhibit A:

I would not have minded if they added the places north of Anville Town, and did something like the Battle Zone for Unova, meanwhile the place far to the west could have been some kinda post league bonus. And the crimson line easily means Aspertia City and the surrounding areas, they ciuld have gone whole hog and given us a little more to the south. Nitpicking sure? But there were more logical places they could have added.
 
BW has brought Unova's potential to the max already and B2W2 has made it even better! (: That's why Gen V is the perfect generation, at least in my opinion.
